Bishop Jakes wants to show you how God uses difficult; crushing experiences to prepare you for unexpected blessings. If you are faithful through suffering; you will be surprised by God's joy; comforted by His peace; and fulfilled with His purpose. Crushing will inspire you to have hope; even in your most difficult moments. If you trust in God and lean on Him during setbacks; He will lead you through.

- AND WE HAVE TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
- 00:06:17.533 --> 00:06:18.434
- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING CRUSHED BY THE LORD

- I WAS CALLED; I WAS CHOSEN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.
- 00:07:06.249 --> 00:07:08.217
- FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. THAT MEANS THAT GOD HAS
- 00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:10.586
- THAT MEANS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME SOMETHING THAT'S
- 00:07:10.653 --> 00:07:11.954
- GIVEN ME SOMETHING THAT'S STRONGER THAN THE TIMES
- 00:07:12.021 --> 00:07:14.090
- STRONGER THAN THE TIMES I'M IN, BECAUSE WE HAVE
- 00:07:14.156 --> 00:07:17.493
